The golden goose


~Summary~
Once upon a time a young boy lived with his mother, father and brother John. John didn't like his brother and he called him Simpleton. However, Simpleton was clever and good.

One day, the boys' father who was a woodcutter said to them, " One day you can be a woodcutter." Therefore, first, John started to be it. When he walked into a forest, his mother gave him food and drink.

John found a big tree so first, he thought he could eat his food and have a drink. Suddenly, there was a little old man appeared and said to him that he wanted to eat John's food but John refused the old man's request. Then, the axe cut John's arm when he started to cut down the tree. Therefore, John couldn't get the big tree.

The next day,Simpleton said to his father," I'll try to cut down a big tree for you." so Simpleton walked into a forest with his lunch.
When Simpleton found a big tree and thought he started eating his lunch, the little old man appeared again! And he asked Simpleton that he wanted to eat his lunch. Then, Simpleton smiled and gave him self lunch.
After that, the little old man said to him, " You're a goof boy so I'll give you a nice present."
So, Simpleton began to cut the tree. It fell down and a golden goose appeared inside it.

Therefore, Simpleton decided to take it to the market. When he walked with the goose, many people stuck him so they had to follow Simpleton.

The end of this story, Simpleton met a beautiful princess and he got married with the princess!

~My impression~
I think this story is a good success story! The reason why I think that, Simpleton had a kind heart and good boy so he could meet a princess as a present by the God.

A game arcade.


Last Saturday, I spent time in a game arcade with my friend.

First, we enjoyed with a game of racing car. Of course, we competed our speed and technique. The result was I won the game!

Second, we enjoyed a game of table hockey. This game had to guard self position and get a point from self opponent by shooting. I was gotten many points by my friend but I got much more points from her! That means I won the game too.

Third, we tried to do a shooting game. This game had to shoot many zombies or ghosts with a pistol. We screamed with terror but shot them. However, we couldn't shoot all of them so lost the game. When I finished it, I thought that I'm bad at doing the shooting game.

Last, we enjoyed with many kinds of stuffed animal game machine. During did them, I got some small stuffed animals! This picture is one of them which I got.

Do you think this is very cute, especially his eyes, don't you?

I had a very good time with my friend in the place.

A Buffet restaurant!

Last Sunday, I went to a all- you-can-eat-and-drink restaurant with my friend.

We can eat all dishes only 2625 yen so we ordered a lot of foods. Our member was only 2 people but we ordered 10 kind of dishes, so that we were feeling completely full!
In addition, we ordered 3 glass of alcoholic drinks each other so our conversation became more lively.

In my opinion, "custard fondue" was best menu at the restaurant. Maybe you know that "cheese fondue" and "chocolate fondue" but some people don't know the "custard fondue". We dipped some bananas, rice-flour dumplings and bread into the custard. It was very good!

During time limit, we enjoyed talking over our dinner.

July 7th is the day of Tanabata in Japan!



Today is the day of Tanabata! Japan has a great story about Tanabata so I'll tell you it. Maybe you know but please read it.

On July 7th is a special day for one couple. The man's name is "Hikoboshi" and the woman's name is "Orihime". This couple always talked so they never didn't their stroke of work.

Therefore, they provoked the anger of god and he separated them. However, god allowed them to meet only one day. For the reason, Hikoboshi and Orihime can meet on July 7th.

You know, "Amanogawa" is a important river of galaxy for the couple because they can't meet each other without going across it.

In addition, Tanabata is a important day for us because Japanese people believe that our wish will come true. Therefore, we hang up colored strips of paper with prayers written on them on sticks of bamboo on the day!

What's your wish? My wish is ........

On a rainy day.


From yesterday to today had a heavy rain so both the days had any warnings. For example, Kumamoto city had a warning of heavy rains and local flooding. In addition, we had a thunderstorm advisory. However, we didn't have any happenings so I was very happy!

However, the rainy season has begun in Japan so it remains possible that we would have some warnings during the term. Therefore, we have to care them.


By the way, do you know that in these days, Japan has many nice goods for rainy days? For example, "Rain Boots"are very popular among young women! The reason why they like "Rain Boots", there are 2 good points about them.

First, the boots are the kind of rubber boots so we can walk in the rainy day without fear of rains! Second, the Rain Boots are very stylish and cute.

For these reasons, the boots are very popular. If you interested in the Rain Boots, you could search in the Internet!

In class: Time after Time

Last week, we took the words to a song's dictation. The title was " Time after Time". It was a little difficult for me to do that but I enjoyed listening to the song!

In this post, I would think about the meaning of this song. The question is that what do I think about this song?
I think this song's theme is disappointment in love. For example, "You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said" and "Then you said go slow," show that a discrepancy between man and woman. In other words, woman walks ahead of boyfriend. On the other hand, the man walks behind the girlfriend. Therefore, the woman can't hear what he said . However, the woman wouldn't walk slowly so they might feel the end of their relationships.

My sister's sport.

Maybe you know, my young sister's name is Mika. She has belonged to a badminton club for 3 years. And this Monday, she retired the club because she finished her last game in a big tournament.
She is 15 years old so she is in her last year of junior high school now. Therefore, she had to retire the club and to use her energy for her life of a student preparing for an entrance examination.
She couldn't rank high on the tournament but she did her best so it is OK! I said to her, " You practiced it very hard so you are good player." She smiled and said "Thank you, Mai."

By the way, I had belonged to a badminton club when I was a junior high school student too. So, I hope that if both Mika and I have much time, I want to play badminton with her!
